Seven Novels by H. G. Wells

A compact omnibus of seven influential early science-fiction tales that pair imaginative speculative premises—time travel, alien invasion, invisibility, biological experimentation and future societies—with sharp social and moral critique; across adventures that shift from brisk action to philosophical reflection, protagonists confront transformative technologies or beings and are forced to reckon with human hubris, class conflict, and the precariousness of civilization, yielding both thrilling set-pieces and meditations on science, ethics and possible futures.
